Kitty, You are smitten with the "other board" and feel that this one is no longer to your liking. WHY do you continue to come here and post. I can assure you that you would not be missed AT ALL should you decide to stay away.You really don't bring anything to the table and basically you inflict your opinions as being the best. They might be for you, but not for everyone.PLEASE, don't do us any favors.
